Voice of America and Chinese Net censorship
Researchers at the Berkman Center — JZ and Ben Edelman – had a very productive study underway looking at how China and other states filter Net traffic to, from and within the country. Paul Festa of CNET writes today about the Voice of America commissioning software that will get around the Great Firewall using a circumvention web server and SSL. It’s interesting to me the extent to which the approach is being talked about openly. Given our interest in openness on the Net broadly, I see that as a good thing. An interesting strategy all the same when this filtering business is something of a tech arms race.
